In Boston 🇺🇸, a man filmed himself wearing a Hezbollah shirt in public. I wonder if he is friends with the Hitler impersonator?
BREAKING: Israel's Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar, says the diplomatic relationship between Israel and Colombia will be renewed, and they will open an embassy in Jerusalem
In Germany 🇩🇪, Free Palestine activists stage a small protest conveniently outside a World Cup watch party. It doesn't look like they're convincing anyone.
"I don't really care if Bernie Sanders or AOC go home and they're a secret Nazi" ...Why not? Unsurprisingly, this was one of Graham Platner's biggest fans, even though his Nazi tattoo was, in fact, not a secret.
Here's Nerdeen Kiswani, who runs the central Free Palestine org in NYC, Within Our Lifetime, retweeting conspiracy theories about the murder of Charlie Kirk by none other than far-right Holocaust denier Stew Peters. If the horseshoe wasn't a circle already, it is now.
Ro Khanna shared that his wife urged him not to endorse Platner weeks ago. Any word on what she thinks about his West Bank adventure? Sounds like she has good judgement.
Notice how Hasan doesn’t say “I didn’t say those things.” He can’t. Because he did. On his own stream. If you don’t want your bigoted views to become weapons against your political allies, maybe stop sharing them with the world?
Ro Khanna didn’t mean detained like “held in custody.” He meant the second meaning- he was briefly delayed. I’m sure the ambiguity was totally unintentional.
The Israeli women's under-20 team earned silver after advancing to their first-ever European Championship final! We are all so proud! 🇮🇱🏀
Wait, did Ro Khanna just name drop Tucker Carlson to make his point? I think the horseshoe just officially became a circle 🤦♂️
I actually can’t believe it took this long to get a proper conspiracy theory about Waze, an app invented by Israelis. I guess the Jew haters have been asleep at the wheel 🫢
Stickers found in Amsterdam call for the hanging of "Zionists." This is not a "criticism" of Israel. It is clear incitement against Israelis and Jews. Everyone calling this protest, and not hate, is complicit.
Ro Khanna went from the Graham Platner scandal to the West Bank in a week. My latest, on how Free Palestine went from anti-Israel movement to reputational rehab: https://open.substack.com/pub/henmazzig/p/truth-hurts-ro-khanna-just-copied
Ro Khanna needed a story for his campaign. He got one. The man who staunchly supported Graham Platner has riled the media into a new frenzy as stories about alleged sexual misconduct and Nazi tattoos fade away. And his greatest allies in this campaign moves are the Israelis from the West Bank.
President Donald Trump has responded to the banners in Iran offering money for his assassination, stating that America has missiles ready to fire. Mojtaba Khamenei has said that they will avenge his father's death soon.
Shabbat Shalom, In another week of scary headlines, let's take a moment to focus on the good in the world. How about we all sing along with the Scottish woman who brightened our days with her incredible rendition of Yerushalayim?
Well, Graham Platner has submitted his official withdrawal letter. Does he admit to his mistakes? No. Does he apologize for his Nazi tattoo and how it must have made Maine Jews feel? Also no. But he does spend two paragraphs on how Maine voters loved him. And he ends it with a Free Palestine!
Arab-Israeli soccer player Anan Khalaili has agreed to join the current Italian league champion, Inter Milan. At 25 million euros, this will be the highest transfer fee ever paid for an Israeli player. 🇮🇱🇮🇹
Soccer fans from Morocco, upset at their team's loss against France, started chanting outside The Hague. Maybe something about French people or France in general? Nope. "All Jews are homos." Because if something bad happens, it was probably the Jews.
The Pentagon could not account for $2.3 trillion of spending. Yet all anyone talks about is the $3.8 billion going to Israel. Read more about where America's money is going overseas:
In Pennsylvania 🇺🇸, a man was arrested for reportedly making verbal antisemitic threats towards Jewish Governor Josh Shapiro. The man also threatened to commit arson at the governor's home.
Apparently, you can be an expert on geopolitics without knowing that Bosnia-Herzegovina is one country...
The Rohingya people were the victims of genocide in their homeland of Myanmar and now remain refugees in Bangladesh. Yesterday, 8 Rohingya children were killed by a landslide as monsoon flooding devastated their refugee camp. What a senseless tragedy. My thoughts are with the victims.
Who’s driving that thing anyway? Greta? The Middle East wouldn't be my first choice for a gay getaway… unless it’s one country 👀
Kneecap loves to act like a champion for indigenous people, but the moment one gets in the way of their grift, they turn as ugly as their music. I think their masks only serve to hide their shame at this point.
In New Jersey 🇺🇸, Princeton police are asking for the public's assistance. Officers are searching for a man suspected of placing antisemitic propaganda stickers throughout the municipality. The stickers have been found in areas that seem to intentionally target Jewish communities.
Do you know the name Sheikha Moza bint Nasser? She's the mother of Qatar's emir, she got to sit next to Anna Wintour at a fashion event, and she even had time to write a eulogy for Yahya Sinwar. I wrote about her busy schedule and how she plays into Qatar's pro-terror geopolitical strategy here:
"Dismantle the Zionist war machine." In London 🇬🇧, commuters see underground ads displaying anti-Zionist messaging. I have never seen anything so akin to 1930s propaganda.
I’m horrified by people here who are joyful about the death of an American pro-Palestine activist who was beaten to death allegedly by her middle eastern boyfriend in Ireland. She didn’t deserve it no matter where she stood on anything. Can we not lose our humanity, please? May she rest in peace.
